Kera Therapy

Smoother, calmer hair that holds up against heat and humidity

Duration
60 min
Investment
from $50

Kera Therapy smooths frizz, softens texture, and brings your hair back to a healthy, polished state. Hair that reflects light and stays cooperative through a full morning routine, that's what this treatment delivers. For anyone living where the humidity never really lets up, that kind of daily ease adds up fast.

The process uses a keratin-based formula applied throughout the hair, then sealed in with heat. This fills in surface damage along the hair shaft and leaves strands feeling stronger and noticeably smoother. It works well on heat-damaged hair, chemically processed hair, and hair that's just been worn down by the elements over time.

Before the treatment begins, your stylist takes a close look at your hair's current condition and talks through what you're hoping to get out of it. That conversation shapes how the treatment is applied, so the result fits your hair, your lifestyle, and how you like to style it day to day.

Prep

Before your appointment

  • Come in with clean, dry hair, wash it the day of or the night before with a clarifying or sulfate shampoo if you have one
  • Skip any heavy oils, serums, or styling products before your appointment so the treatment can absorb evenly
  • Let your stylist know about any chemical services you've had recently, like color, highlights, or a relaxer
  • Bring a soft hair tie or clip to keep hair out of your face during the process, and plan to leave it down for a bit after
Aftercare

Keeping the result

  • Wait the full recommended time before washing your hair, usually a couple of days, so the treatment has time to fully set
  • Switch to a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to help the results last as long as possible
  • Try to keep hair dry and out of tight ponytails or clips during that initial setting period
  • Your stylist can recommend a take-home product that keeps the smoothness going between visits

Book Kera Therapy

Keratin protein gets pushed deep into the hair shaft during a Kera Therapy treatment, smoothing the cuticle from the inside out. The appointment runs about 60 minutes, and most guests leave the salon with noticeably softer, calmer hair. Along the Gulf Coast, where humidity rarely lets up, that kind of day-to-day manageability can genuinely change how much time you spend getting ready in the morning.

After your appointment, your stylist will walk you through a few simple aftercare steps, including switching to a sulfate-free shampoo to protect your results. A little attention to product choice goes a long way toward keeping that smoothness for weeks. If you have questions about how Kera Therapy works with your specific hair texture, bring them up at booking and your artist can help you figure out if it's the right fit.

Questions

How long does a Kera Therapy treatment last?
